not for the fbi. so the fbi still has some explaining to do in my mind. >> eliot: why the distinction if there is a legitimate reason or maybe the facts are different between the way general petraeus has offered his resignation and the president expressing support for general allen. is there a reason for that distinction that you can discern? >> absolutely. first off general allen's behavior flirting -- many things are against the military code of justice but flirting isn't. that being said, i can absolutely understand the secretary's actions where general allen is concerned at this point. the real question -- what's happening is general allen was up, as you said, to take over as nato's supreme allied commander. that's a senate-confirmed position. any time that there is an investigation, regardless of whether it has any merit or not that investigation is always concluded before you put somebody in front of the senate committee for them to go ahead and confirm or not confirm the person. so in this case

he has been indicted by the fbi--he's wanted by the fbi. he has been indicted on charges relateed to terrorism and right now the big twist in this whole story is that it looks like his own group may have turned on him. he posted a video on youtube claiming that he thought his life was in danger, not necessarily just by people that want to kill him on the forces that he has been fighting, but his own people. he just recently reached out to me to make contact saying he's ready to finally tell his story. >> eliot: now, you have dealt with him more than most, obviously. is he just a twisted sick mind? he turns on the united states, now even the jihad disdists have thrown him out. this is a sick individual. what has taken him through this tortured path intellectually. >> one of the things anyone who knew omar before he went at off to somalia. this was not a kid who you would think that he would go off and do this. he was president of his class in high school. he was very popular. he was really the all-american kid. so--that's what has been very

the fbi now looking at this. matt, what do you think? is the fbi going to make a criminal case or they're put out a press release. this seems like the least likely to be criminal but the most likely to be bad judgment. >> it's questionable what kind of criminal case they could make, an accounting issue or disclosing on time to shareholders, but it's terrible judgment, however you want to look at it, whether it's a criminal case or not it was an awful, terrible thing that happened. >> eliot: to be an argument for fundamental restruck restructuring of the financial system needs to be argued once more. small footnote, your nemesis head of target emblazoned on his back and now he's going to call up jamie dimon and say it's your churn. >> chase had the quote/unquote term of being good bank while goldman was faking from people like me. >> eliot: is there snore squid that can wrap itself around it. >> goldman sachs with all of his squid-like tendencies has its own corner of the world. jp morgan chase takes in deposit from all the mom and pops a
